Tuesday I got a video of Alice officially crawling and chasing a balloon!
I exercised, watched Hazel, Bethany had crazy hair day at preschool, and Ben started his second session of Jr. Jazz basketball.
We also got word of Dan getting a promotion at work! He went from being the lead consultant for the Salt Lake region, to being the director of recruitment state wide! So happy for and proud of him!
Wednesday we had Anna's kindergarten friends Annie and Emi over to play, as well as William Alexander. Then Bethany and Alice and I went to McDonald's with cousins for lunch! I finished my book club book ("These is My Words") during carpool and cried quite a bit. I ran an errand after picking up the kids. I attended music with Anna and had book club that night at Rachael's.
Thursday I exercised and had a dentist appointment. Bethany's preschool friend Arlee came over to play and they had dress like a princess day at preschool. I babysat Ellie and Hazel. Alice pulled up a couple of times to standing! Ben came home from school with from scrapes on his face. :( He said he just fell on the playground. Ben also had scouts. McKenna's Peter Pan rehearsals were in full swing.
That night, we watched an episode of Marie Kondo's "Tidying Up" and Dan got inspired to go through his closet.
That night we got word that sadly, Dan's aunt Wendy Maxfield lost her fight with cancer and passed away. :(
Friday I prepped all morning to have Mickelle babysit while Dan and I went on an overnighter with the YW to Mantua. Mickelle sent this picture of the kids' mac and cheese dinner! We had dinner and played lots of games with the girls like Banana Grams, Catch Phrase, and Murder in the Dark, which was awesome!
I found that with Alice's new mobility, she gets into a lot of things she shouldn't be. She's a busy body!
Saturday morning we had a yummy breakfast, cleaned up, and went for a walk around the block for 30 mins. It was so pretty and clear blue skies up there. Then we drove home back into the smog. Yuck! This was my attempt at getting them to do a jumping picture.
We got home in time to take McKenna to play practice and get groceries, then we had Ben's 8th BD Party! We had Eli Webster and Eli Forbes, Jordan Slaugh, Oliver Winegar, Henry Alexander, and Taggart Lewis. We started with everyone doing lengthy dot-to-dots while we waited for everyone to arrive, followed by painting some wooden boxes.
After painting, the boys all went in the basement and had free time to play. Then we did a pull string pinata while having the boys do a trick or pull a string and get a treat. Then we opened presents and had brownies and ice cream.
One of the gifts Ben got was a new game called "Suspend." Dan played it with McKenna and Ben right after all the boys left. So thankful Ben has such nice friends and cousins!
Sunday was a normal day at church and a normal afternoon. That evening we celebrated January BDs at Webster family dinner. Ben got a stomp rocket thing as well as some pretty generous $$ from Grandma and Grandpa.
He loves sharing his BD month with Uncle Adam!
Monday was a normal day of laundry and me trying to do things on the computer. :) I put up Valentine's Day decorations. After dinner, Dan took Ben to the Remington's house to cut his Pinewood Derby car. The girls helped me work on Bethany's half BD spotlight poster for preschool the next day.
